The Money is Still in the list...

The Money is Still in the list...
I have had and still have the privilege to associate with
some of the top internet marketing experts who are all
promoting work at home and home based business
opportunities on their websites and in their email
marketing newsletters.

The one thing in common that they all have, when it comes
to revealing their secrets to making nice incomes online,
is that they all got their own large email opt in list.
People who have personally agreed to subscribe to what they
are offering.

A lot of people who do go online in hopes of making it big
some day, do not realize that building an opt in email list
should be their main goal if they want to become
successful. They think that throwing up a nice looking
website and promoting it is the best way to go, without
having their own work at home e-zine. If you look at the
many work at home sites that are out there on the internet,
you will see that not everyone has newsletter opt in form
on their website. They will make some money but this will
not get them far and close to what the "gurus" are making.

Not having an email opt in newsletter can cost you a lot of
money in the long term. Sure, you are making money now
without having a newsletter but if you want long term
success, then you have got to get your own email list.

I got to tell you the truth. I have been listening to
"Internet Marketing" CD's in the past 2 years and every
successful internet marketing expert talks more about
building your list. They don't talk about having a state of
the art website.

Their main focus is to get the message out to you that if
you want to make it big online just like they have in the
work at home and home based business arena, then you need
to focus all of your efforts in building a list of email
subscribers. The bigger the list, the better.

Another thing that I have learned from these amazing audio
training courses is that buying subscribers from someone
else is not the best way to go when building a responsive
list. There is a word for buying or sending emails to
people who did not personally request your newsletter and
it is called "SPAM" email. This is one thing you will not
want to do. This will not help you. It will only hurt you
long term.

You will probably get emails from people who will try to
sell you a large amount of subscribers. Some people in the
past did buy these lists and added them to their email
newsletter. This has gotten them banned from the
auto-responder company.

Now, the best thing to do when someone emails you and
offers you a list of subscribers, is to delete that email
and move on.

You should add a newsletter subscription form to your
website. This is the only way to go. Also, make sure to add
a form at the very top of your page so that as soon as your
visitors come in, they see the form right away.

Your main goal is to get their name and email address
before they leave your site.

Write the following 2 strong quotes on a piece of paper and
look at them everyday.

"The fortune is in the follow up" and "The money is in the
list".
